When to ask for a LOR?
« on: December 28, 2009, 12:41:04 AM »

So I had an internship over this past summer, and I'm probably going to use my boss for one recommendation with the other two coming from professors. The problem is, I'm currently a junior, and I won't be applying for at least another year (aiming for Fall '11). I'm afraid if I wait any longer to ask for a LOR, too much time will have passed between the time I've worked with him this past summer and the time I'll actually start applying. So what should I do? Also, where do I send a LOR?

THANKS.

Ask for it NOW.  There's no such thing as having one finished too early.  Just have your boss put it in a sealed envelope; you can send it to LSAC later.  Plus, it won't be that long if you're aiming for Fall '11:  LSAT this summer, applications in the fall -- it will be here before you know it.

Also, I'd have to recommend not applying to law school.  Just sayin'.

I must admit that I may have been infected with society's prejudices and predilections and attributed them to God . . . and that in years hence I may be seen as someone who was on the wrong side of history.  I don't believe such doubts make me a bad Christian.  I believe they make me human . . .

Thanks, I'll ask for a letter soon!

Also, if I don't apply to law school, what do you propose I do?
